About Marissa
Marissa Namirr is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, addiction concerns, and major life changes. Her approach is practical and straightforward, focused on helping people take the next step toward feeling better.

Background and approach
Marissa aims to break large problems into manageable steps people can try between sessions. Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which links thoughts, feelings, and actions. That framework helps identify unhelpful patterns and build different responses.
Sessions often include simple exercises and tools to practice outside of appointments. With 22 years of experience working with Georgia residents, she brings long-term clinical perspective to common life struggles. Many clients seek help for attachment or abandonment concerns, family of origin issues, caregiver stress, and changes like divorce or blending households.
Marissa is also familiar with forgiveness work, guilt and shame, and midlife questions. Teletherapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules. She encourages people to take a first step by completing a short matching questionnaire and choosing session times that work for them.
CBT and online support for stress and life changes
Marissa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new ways of responding. This approach is often useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and mood-related concerns.She emphasizes collaborative care when choosing approaches. Together with each person she weighs goals, daily routines, and preferences to decide which tools to try. The plan can change as progress is made and new issues come up.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls work well for full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for shorter check-ins or ongoing support between appointments. These options help people keep therapy consistent around work, childcare, or travel.
